CAM ART TOUR
BEHIND THE SCENES SILVER CIRCLE TOUR

CAM Silver Circle members are invited to join us for a SoCal Art Experience at the Marciano Art Foundation followed by a Behind the Scenes Tour of artist Kelly Reemtsen‘s studio in Los Angeles.

The paintings for which Kelly Reemtsen is best known are elaborate depictions of the role of the modern day woman.

Strikingly feminine at first glance, with their bodies adorned in fashionable designer dresses and runway-worthy accessories, Reemtsen’s women are not simply pinup girls or arm candy. Rather, the women, while dressed to the nines, undertake household, and often, traditionally masculine tasks. The objects they hold, from dishrags to wrenches to chainsaws, range from domestic to menacing, and yet, as a body of work, address the question of the proper role of the contemporary woman. Reemtsen’s answer to that is quite simple – anything! Anonymous torsos, the women remain beautiful representations of the feminine with which anyone can identify.

In terms of technique, Reemtsen’s work, with its thick impasto, represents a masterly handling of paint, which can be seen throughout her oeuvre of women, as well as other subjects including designer furniture and pills.

Sunday, April 22      11 a.m.     Tour the Marciano Art Foundation

1 p.m.      Kelly Reemsten’s Studio | Food and wine will be provided compliments of the Carnegie Art Museum Cornerstones.
